The generated font data is now in SVG format, which is compatible with the Inkscape 1.0 Hershey Text font file format. Interoperability with Inkscape 1.0 Hershey Text Extension The three bundled fonts use the same SVGs to Please refer to the SVGs in the fontsvg folder for sample font design. The Synchronize Font List extension should be used to synchronize the font list with the list of font data files (if the folder contents are changed externally) The data generation process is the same as that for new fonts. The Right Offset option value should always be Vertical Guide / Bounding box. To save the edited font invoke the Generate Font Data extension and (re)enter the exact font name. If you want to create a new glyph reusing paths of an existing one, just give it the ID corresponding to the new glyph after editing. All the stroke font glyphs of the selected font are displayed in the given size, arranged in rows with row count corresponding to the user entered number. Choose the font to be edited from the drop down, and enter the number of rows and size. Invoke Edit Stroke Font extension to edit an existing font. Glyphs can be designed incrementally and can have different templates. If the file for the given font exists, the glyphs are added to it (or replaced if there exist any with the same IDs), if not a new xml file is created. The name of the file is the same as the font name, so the font names have all the restrictions that are applicable to file names. The glyphs of a font are stored in an SVG file in strokefontdata subfolder within the user extensions folder. But bear in mind, only the guides created by the Create Font Design Template extension will be used to calculate the offsets.Īfter completing the design the 'Generate Font Data' extension needs to be invoked to store the path data of the You can duplicate the guides within the template to define new reference lines if that helps designing the font (example ScriptLastNodeOffset.svg and ScriptGlyphsAlignedWithEditExt.svg). So A glyph representing A should have its ID set to 'A' (without quotes). The path should have the XML ID same as theĬharacter text. (if there are multiple segments they need to be combined in a single path). Each designed glyph should be a single SVG path Then design the fonts with reference to the guides in the template. To create your own font you need to first create a template invoking 'Create Font Design Template' extension. These fonts are available in the Render Text tool with prefix 'Hershey'. The existing Hershey Text fonts are also ported to the format required for these extensions. The extensions come with 3 pre-designed custom fonts. The resulting file size may also become quite large, since path of every letter is stored separately. For large files, however, it might take considerable time for rendering. It's possible to render an entire text file in stroke font with the 'Render text from file' option. If the 'Create Extended Rectangles' option has a value oher than 'None' and if the text does not fit the given set of rectangles, then new rectangles will be created in the selected direction to fit the entire text. Now check the 'Flow Text in Boxes' and select horizontal and vertical alignment options. To have an aligned text, create rectangle(s) and select it (them) before invoking the render text tool. There are a number of options to taylor the rendering. To render a text string using the custom stroke fonts, use the Render Text extension.
